55An awesome spot! The granite outcroppings make this a very unique place to play with your pup! Great for hot days too— it’s in the shade. Spot is impeccable with lots of thoughtful additions.Meredith W.

55Cooper had a great time at Joyti Journeys today. He ran through the water, chewed on sticks, very curious about anything. My wife walked with him and her watch measured 2 miles of walking. The area was clean and the hosts were very nice. Parking was under trees and I would fully recommend this spot and I know we will be back soon. Ronald G.

55We had such a great time at Jyoti's Journey! Because it was our first time she greeted us, showed us in, and told us a bit about the spot.
This Sniffspot is a true hidden gem for anyone looking to get off the beaten path and let their pups explore raw, untamed nature. It's a large, 3-acre fully fenced property that feels more like a private nature hike than a typical dog park. There's a shallow creek running through the land, plenty of wildlife to spot, and wildflowers blooming everywhere — it was beautiful.
That said, it’s definitely a “wild” space — expect uneven ground, hills, potholes, and sticker weeds. For us, that was exactly what we wanted, but I think it’s important for guests to know what they’re signing up for. This isn't a manicured yard; it's real, raw wilderness.
There’s a cozy little cabin on the property with lots of seating for humans to relax throughout.
Our dogs had a blast! Our short-haired pup Yugo especially loved charging through the tall grass and splashing in the creek. He chased a couple of ducks (who got away just fine!) and was thrilled by all the new smells. Our long-haired dog Ruby enjoyed it too, though she ended up with quite a bit of brush stuck in her coat — something to keep in mind if your dog is high-maintenance grooming-wise.
Personally, I loved it. It felt like a peaceful escape into nature, and being able to share that kind of freedom and adventure with my dogs was exactly what I was looking for. As a bonus, the host even let us pick a bouquet of flowers to take home, which was such a sweet touch.
If you're looking for an off-leash hike in a wild, flower-filled forest and don’t mind a bit of mud or brush, this spot is perfect. We’ll definitely be coming back!Taylor D.

55My dogs loved Pamela’s sniff spot! There was plenty of shade, water for the dogs, chairs for us, even toys, sunscreen, hand sanitizer, and bug spray was available! We needed a spot where my dogs wouldn’t get burrs or other seed pods stuck in their fur and this was perfect since it was just dirt, rocks, and boulders. The dogs loved running around, sniffing, and climbing on the boulders! Will definitely be back.Kimberly V.

55It was one of my dogs’ birthday! I booked a Sniffspot for the first time as a special treat. He had so much fun as did the other 2 I brought along. They loved running over the large boulders as well as around them. It was well marked and had easy access. Poop bags, scoops and chairs were all provided. There was plenty of shade which will be great in another month! I brought my own dog water and water for myself. The spot was easy to find and not far off major roads. I plan to come back and do it again. Joni G.

55This is our 4th visit to this spot and the fur kids love it every time. One of our dogs just lives sniffing everything (Stella) and the other (Sierra) enjoys crawling over boulders and this time, playing tag with a lizard. Debbie W.

55Elmo had so much fun. Great space with a lot of climbing, sniffing, and digging. Poop bags are provided along with a scooper. Balls and toys also provided. Watch out for mutant mosquitoes, they did have bug spray available which I used(THANK YOU) but mosquitoes LOVE me and a couple were still harassing me at 10am, so just be aware of that. Alex R.

55Highly recommended! Lovely as always! Our dogs started whining when we turned onto the street. I think they now recognize it as soon as we arrive. They love it here!
I wish more Sniff Spots had fencing as secure as this place. We love the double gate entrance and that there are rocks at the base of then fence in any areas where digging has occurred. This is one of the only Sniff Spots where I am 100% at ease that one of my dogs won’t find an escape route. We truly appreciate this setup and our only wish was that we lived a little bit closer.

55This was our first time using Sniffspot and found everything as described. At first we were concerned with the boulders but they are great to burn off extra energy, not to mention a nice little workout for myself. There are plenty of flat spots as well so our dogs had a blast. We’ll definitely be back. Debbie W.

FAQ About Granite Bay Dog Parks

Sniffspot private dog parks only allow one guest to book at a time and are not open to the public, which solves many of these issues.
